The maximum recommended temperature for the Intel® Core™ 2 Quad processor Q6600 is 71 degrees Celsius.
I would recommend installing the latest BIOS version for your motherboard and testing the processor on a 2nd motherboard if possible. If the same issue continues, then I would suggest contacting our Intel® Customer Service department at:

So I replaced the CPU cooler and I am running at about 55-60c. That sound right?

Seems like the cpu cooler might not be installed properly. Make the 4 cooler's push pins are properly inserted and locked into the motherboard's holes.

If speedstep is enabled, the lowest clock should be ~1600mhz (6 * 266.6)
